What’s my failsafe fashion look? I’d say denim, stripes and a splash of leopard print. For me, it never goes out of style and can pull together any look. Even just a hint – a cross body bag, a heel or a shirt can add a touch of cool.

So with the inbetween seasons and not quite knowing how to deal with Autumn Winter yet, here’s a post on my favourite trend that will be in fashion all year round (and trust me, a leopard coat will be a good winter buy – I have my eye on this Boden version to add to my collection). All hail the mighty leopard print!

Hi Alex.
Don't suppose you will be doing a winter coat post anytime soon? Could do with some advice before I splash out! 😉
Oh my lord – all my favourite things! And how lush are those M&S Trainers?!
I recently found your J Crew leopard bag whilst on holiday in the US on sale for $39! Such a bargain – haven't taken it off since! X
Hey! Oh I totally should! I will work on it….meanwhile some brands I have looking at lately (and seen some great coats from are: French Connection for a good crombie, Baukjen for a great wraparound and Comptoir des Cotonniers – all good investments). I have ordered the leopard Boden one as well and hoping it's a good 'un! x
I know, I realised because I always wear it I had never considered it a trend – MISTAKE! This has been my favourite post to collate!
What a bargain! I remember thinking it was a little pricey when I got it but still, cost per wear it was worth it! x
Ah thanks. Will start my hunt!
I love your blog and your style! I couldn't seem to see the Boden coat fron the link – is it the Sally leopard coat? Thanks so much!
Yes it is! xx
I need to get me some leopard print shoes for this autumn!
Love your outfit here too! xx
Love it!
Hi Alex, you inspired me to let a bit of leopard into my life. I just ordered the Boden flats… Your blog is such a great source of inspiration! Brigitte x
They really are a good outfit maker! x
Thank you! And you can't go wrong with a bit of leopard print – they'll be your most useful piece, promise!
